PSM - Power Saving Mode
Lets the device “hibernate” between data transmissions while
remembering its network state (no need to re-register)
Power consumption in hibernation: 4 μA
Gain on battery lifetime: x2 (compared to shutting modem off)
Ex: Tx 670 bytes / Rx 350 bytes on 2500mAh AA battery
1 transmission every 1 hour
1 transmission every 6 hours
1 transmission every 24 hours
eDRX - Extended Discontinuous Reception
Lets the device listen more infrequently to incoming messages
=> 1 year battery life
=> 5 years battery life
=> 19 years battery life
Power consumption for 1 data transmission - With PSM
Power consumption for 1 data transmission - Without PSM (coming from “OFF” state)
